1. After creating a job, click Add > Manage SVS Layer.
2. Enter the .VSA file name in the Layer name drop-down list, or browse and select a
.VSA file. You can also enter a .VSA file path in the Layer name drop-down list. The

path is correct and it is a valid .VSA file, it replaces the path name with the layer
name in the .VSA file.

drop-down list. This makes it easier for you to select a layer from the list, instead of
browsing or typing the .VSA file name again.
